“Coming together, creating a collaborative piece of Art for a friend’s birthday.”

We are in the midst of the beautiful summer season here on the East End. In an effort to encourage our community to get out, be social and get moving we would like to share these art, music and body tools that are available from Southampton to East Hampton.
